My wishing list is to get rid of GIL, as a creative director for Janet Jackson there are few things that should've never happened. I feel like his approach is for us to settle with Janet gracing the stage again, period.
1. The lackluster opening and missed opportunities.
There should be no reason why two men are pulling the screen down manually as Janet perform the opening number. Janet did not dance 1 time during Damn Baby and I would love to see bare minimal, the video solo breakdown. M4N is horrible live with no theme and dark stage. The boxes at the end of the stage look cheap, cheesy and you can actually see the construction of the box. The school chairs during When I think of You are horrible.
2. The dancers look a mess. Adidas outfits, knee pads showing, tank top and shorts. Where are the fashions? I find it very distracting from the song selection and vibe of the show. The VR Adidas outfits were suited for Throb.
3. Medley- Janet, VR, All 4 You, Number ones, unbreakable, sotw, sotw 2 tours. ok we get it, so many hits you guys.. Can we get full songs like Alright from the All for you tour. As a fan, it took me back to the video with dancing, acting, old ladies with fans, Zoo suites. This was a moment!
4. 2018 European M4N performance, why is Janet holding that long fabric behind her neck while two men are in the background adjusting the fabric?
Not polished for an artist like Janet.
